Distribution of Holy Communion outside of Mass
will be allowed here soonBishop Libasci has instituted his first phase of starting to bring the faithful back to the Church buildings by allowing the faithful to receive Holy Communion outside of Mass. Public Masses will not resume yet, but this is the first step. Please pray for patience during this time, as we try to maintain a place of worship that is safe and welcoming.
Starting this weekend, May 23/24, Communion will be Distributed at the following times:
SATURDAY: 5:30 - 6:30 pm
SUNDAY: 8 - 8:30 am
9:30 - 10:15 am
12:30 - 1:30 pm
Please note that during these times, private prayer will not be available.In the meantime, a few housekeeping
- Everyone Must enter through the doors of the Church (Webster Street) (gathering space if you need the elevator), and will leave through the doors by the Sacristy or Reconcilaiton Room (or the gathering space for those who need the elevator)
- Every person 5 and older MUST wear a mask/facecovering while in the Church and it is asked that you also use the santizer in the entryway
- Please Maintain 6 feet between the party infront of you. Stand on the lines leading up the aisle
- When receiving Communion, lower your mask so you may receive. Please DO NOT wear gloves if you are receiving on the hands
- Please enter the Church reverantly. It is a time of prayer. I know that we have not seen each other in a while face to face, but we are coming into the Church to receive Our Lord, so we should be conversing with him, and preparing our hearts to receive him.
- Because of the crowd that might come in and remaining vigilant, you will not be able to stay in the Church or go into the pews for additional prayer. However, please know that they Church will continue to maintain its normal hours for personal prayer (8am to 7 pm, except during livestreams (Sunday 1030 am - 1230 pm and Wednesdays 4:30 pm - 6 pm), it just cannot happen during the times of Distribution of Communion.
- Anyone who is quarantined, who is currently sick with the Covid-19 Virus, is sick or is vulernable should not come out at this time. Please know that those who are sick and quarantined are excempt from Mass under normal circumstances and especially in these times.
Please take sometime to read the Bishops letter, and in the next day or so we will have times that you can come after you have particpate in the Mass at home, either livestream, facebook, cable network or other sources.

In order to get more out of a virtual Mass, we offer the following suggestions: Set aside a quiet place, light a candle or two and quiet yourself before Mass begins. Participate in the Mass; stand - kneel - sit at the appropriate times and respond as you would if you were in the Church itself. PARTICIPATE, don't just watch.
